•For a fruit dip that goes great with pineapple, strawberries, or whatever you desire: mix together a package of softened cream cheese, and a jar of marshmallow crème with an electrical mixer for 5-6 minutes, or until it’s mixed thoroughly.

•For a delicious Strawberry Angel Food Cake dessert: Crumble an Angel Food cake into a 9×13 inch dish, and then beat a package of cream cheese with a cup of sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Fold in whipped topping. Mash the cake down with hands and spread the cream cheese mixture over the cake. Then, in a bowl, combine strawberries and a jar of strawberry glaze until strawberries are evenly coated. Spread over cream cheese layer. Chill until serving.

•When craving avocado, try an Avocado Feta salsa: in a bowl, gently stir together two chopped tomatoes, 1 peeled, pitted, and diced avocado, ¼ cup of finely chopped onion, and 1 clove of minced garlic. Mix in a tablespoon of both parsley and oregano. Gently stir in a tablespoon of olive oil and vinegar. Then stir in 4 ounces of crumbled feta. Cover, and chill for 2 to 6 hours.

•If you’re a tomato person try Insalata Caprese. First you cut up 4 tomatoes in thick, ¼ inch slices. Then slice a pound of mozzarella cheese, with each slice about ¼ inch. Put each slice of mozzarella over the tomato slices, and then put a basil leaf atop each slice of cheese. To finish it, drizzle with olive oil, and add salt and pepper.

•For a cucumber and tomato salad, slice up one cucumber after peeling it, and combine it in a bowl with two chopped tomatoes. Top the salad with salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
